Using the band-structure calculations within the FLAPW (the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave) method, information about the energy band structure E(k) of aluminium nitride and its solid solutions with oxygen and magnesium is obtained. As established, the energy band structure of these solutions indicates their metallic state.

Key words: band-structure calculations, electronic structure, aluminium nitride, solid solutions.
